For the speedo/tach, there is a single power wire that is split into two wires with a special connector, inside the black wire cover that runs around into your headlight enclosure to the speedo/tach.

I have found that the wire breaks right where it splits into two because of the repeated stress of turning the handlebars, since the connector is not flexible.
